Mental health services in the UK are increasingly in demand as rates of mental health problems such as depression and anxiety continue to rise (Baker & Kirk-Wade, 2023). Digital interventions, such as smartphone apps and internet-based programs, are becoming more popular as potential solutions to address this demand and other barriers to care. This has accelerated with the rise in online or hybrid care due to the COVID-19 pandemic (Torous et al., 2020). However, there are concerns with these technologies such as the lack of regulation and accountability, data policies, patient adherence and successful implementation into healthcare (Baños et al., 2022). There have been recent progressions in the evaluation and regulation of such digital interventions by the NHS and NICE, but Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) frameworks may offer insights that could improve development processes to address concerns and drawbacks. RRI encourages consideration of the wider social, environmental and ethical context of research and innovation and its implications. Using this lens, emerging technologies, such as digital mental health interventions, could embed this approach during development to ensure the ethical sustainability and desirability of their outcomes (Stahl et al., 2021). This could improve the choice and access to quality digital interventions for users and mental health services. However, it is important to understand to what extent these RRI frameworks could benefit intervention development, how they are understood and appraised by different stakeholders and how they fit into the current regulation and policy context.Therefore, this PhD will aim to explore the perspectives of various digital mental health stakeholders on the role that RRI currently does, or should play, in the development process of these interventions. Using a range of qualitative methods, this PhD will involve talking to developers, users, researchers, clinicians, policymakers, innovation networks and other stakeholders to gather their opinions on the subject. It will also be important to look at what interventions are currently used or recommended by NHS England for common mental health disorders and examine current policies and regulations that influence them to get a clear picture of this research area. The aim will ultimately be to create a set of recommendations for digital mental health intervention developers to inform the responsible development practices of interventions to make them best suited for users and the NHS, to further inform policy and regulation, and to create resources for the general public around these issues to enable informed decisions.This author is supported by the Horizon Centre for Doctoral Training at the University of Nottingham (UKRI Grant No. EP/S023305/1).

随着抑郁症和焦虑等心理健康问题的率不断上升，英国的心理健康服务越来越多（Baker＆Kirk-Wade，2023年）。数字干预（例如智能手机应用程序和基于互联网的程序）越来越流行，作为解决此需求和其他护理障碍的潜在解决方案。由于19日大流行，这加速了在线或混合护理的增加（Tour等，2020）。但是，这些技术令人担忧，例如缺乏监管和问责制，数据政策，患者依从性以及成功实施医疗保健（Baños等，2022）。 NHS和NICE的这种数字干预措施的评估和调节，但负责任的研究与创新（RRI）框架最近进行了进展，可能会提供可以改善开发过程以解决问题和缺点的见解。 RRI鼓励考虑研究和创新的广泛社会，环境和道德背景及其含义。使用这种镜头，新兴技术（例如数字心理健康干预措施）可以在开发过程中嵌入这种方法，以确保其结果的道德可持续性和可取性（Stahl等，2021）。这可以改善用户和心理健康服务的优质数字干预措施的选择和访问。 However, it is important to understand to what extent these RRI frameworks could benefit intervention development, how they are understood and appraised by different stakeholders and how they fit into the current regulation and policy context.Therefore, this PhD will aim to explore the perspectives of various digital mental health stakeholders on the role that RRI currently does, or should play, in the development process of these interventions.该博士使用一系列定性方法，将涉及与开发人员，用户，研究人员，临床医生，决策者，创新网络和其他利益相关者进行交谈，以收集他们对该主题的看法。 NHS England目前使用或建议使用哪些干预措施来解决常见的心理健康疾病，并检查影响他们的当前政策和法规，以清楚地了解该研究领域的政策和法规，这也将很重要。最终，目的是为数字心理健康干预开发人员提出一系列建议，以告知负责任的开发实践，以使其最适合用户和NHS，以进一步为政策和法规提供信息，并为这些问题为公众创造资源以启用知情的决策。这对知情的决策得到了这项知情的作者。这是在UKIN/SINIC/notting notting notting/S02的Horizo​​n Central培训中（ep/S02）。
